Ask the people in Cyprus if they agree.

Well, this is normal government behavior. It's very interesting, because if anybody else did such things, it would be called theft/crime/stealing/robbery. Isn't it great to call yourself a government, then you just call it civil forfeiture.

I can imagine those people being affected by all of this really embraze their motherland after the fact, and thank the government for keeping them safe, after all, they could've been criminals, so it's very important they need to be protected from themselves!

And when an official sees a 'pattern', of course he must be right. Officials never do wrong!
